Inspiring thread 2019

Assalamualaikum & salam sejahtera semua.

Untuk thread motivasi kali ni, aku decide utk cerita tntg Ayman Hazwani. This thread will be abit different sbb aku bukan nak tekankan tentang akademik. Yes, Ayman Hazwani ialah pelajar cemerlang SPM. Yes, dia berjaya menempatkn diri dlm-

-uni bertaraf Ivy League. Not forgetting, dia dpt offer scholarship Yayasan Tenaga Nasional to study business & JPA-MARA for Medicine in India (she sticks w BNM for Law in UK). This one, aku nak fokus tentang struggle dia.

@AymnHzwni To be a Chairperson of UK & Eire (Ireland) Council for Malaysian Students itself is not easy! Imagine being the First Female Chairperson.

Meh aku terangkan dalam bahasa mudah struktur hierarki organisasi ni. Dekat UK & Ireland ada pecahkan kepada 12 regions. Cnthnya London,-

@AymnHzwni -Scotland, Ireland etc. Total Malaysian affiliate societies di seluruh uni di UK & Ireland ialah 79 societies. Setiap societies ada Chairperson sendiri.

Chairperson – YDP MPP

If disamakan dgn konsep uni IPTA punya sistem MPP, kiranya Ayman ni Head of Student kpd semua YDP MPP-

-setiap uni seperti UiTM, UM, UPM, UniKL etc. That being said, Ayman is above all YDP MPP di UK & Ireland. Fyi, UKEC connects directly to Education Malaysia in UK, which makes it highly accessible to our Ministry of Education.

Susah aku nk convince dia utk share story dia pada public. Sbb dia always rasa apa yg dia achieve tak cukup. Dia share ni pun sbb dia nak org lain, esp. juniors, nampak yg org biasa pun boleh usaha utk dpt apa yg diimpikan. Effort defeats Talent.

INTRO

Ayman Hazwani berumur 23 tahun, currently pursuing Law degree in London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) under Bank Negara Scholar. Form 4 di SM Sains Banting & A levels di Kolej Tuanku Jaafar.

SBP

Having an online platform to write, aku rasa dah tiba masa utk aku discuss benda ni. Aku rasa kita tgh hidup dlm zaman yg mana bila ada seseorg yg brbakat & ada kualiti leadership dlm diri dia, kiranya abit different, kita akan bash dia, compress dia, drag him/her into mud-

-sbb kita tak boleh handle dia jadi diri sendiri. Kita hanya akan berkawan dgn dia bila dia turunkan level dia sama dgn kita. Pelik kan?

Ayman Hazwani seorg yg opiniated & outspoken, and ada org lain rasa tak selesa dgn keadaan tu. So somehow, ada someone yg cari jalan untuk-

-compresskn potential Ayman so that she stayed small. This I can verify. I was there as her classmate & we’re in the same rumah sukan.
They used to call her blkg2 as queen control & bossy. Some juniors get the wrong idea abt her from gossips. Juniors listen to majority of their-

-seniors. Thus, she wasn’t able to secure any positions that needed vote from everyone. Some thought she’s the ice queen that wanna conquer every positions & thought its better if she did not get any. And she’s not the only victim of mental bullying.

Theres so many. And I was-

-there to witness this sick injustice & tahpape-seniority-culture.

Focussing on her case, she's been denied from several positions including pengawas. But, cuba tanya semua org dkt sekolah tu, ramai org akan ckp dia deserve & should get one, be it in student council or rumah-

-sukan. Even bila tanya skrg, org batch yg sama, rmai yg akan stuju. Tapi they refused to accept it back then bcos they rather be acknowledged for carrying the same mainstream perspectives.

If theres one group to suggest something, we need to oblige to be regarded as relevant-

-during that time. Chance dia utk dpt jwtn dlm student council thru jwtn pengawas tak berjaya sbb ada org yg report kt pengawas senior dia bwk handphone.

Spotcheck tu mmg tiba-tiba, as if ada org yg set sbb pengawas senior tu hanya check loker dia shj.

Next, chance dia utk dpt jawatan lain rosak sbb org sebar rumors tntg dia yg ‘gila kuasa’ & people go for popularity, not merit.

The kind of hate she received:

-Org tak suka dia berkawan dgn lelaki, esp. senior lelaki.

-Assume dia kerek sbb resting face dia mcm sombong.

-Dilabel “mencapub” sbb rapat dgn senior housecaptain.

-Org takut dia pgg jwtn bcos rumor has it, dia bossy & will dictate.

Quoted from Ayman;

“The bullies, both prefects & non-prefects alike might not remember what they did but a friendly advice to anyone yang dengki, the ones who were bullied never forgets. Only the weak gets corrupted by power and only fools think that seniority equates power."

She then added,

"I ended my speech in #UnconvinceYourself happily with a note that despite people not recognising my merits back then because i’m too loud, I am the first ever female chairperson for UKEC after 23 years since its inception.”

SCHOLARSHIP

After SPM, she applied scholarship, got called to the Bank Negara assessment programme. Dia cerita yg fail sijil jawatan & pencapaian dia mmg paling nipis lah. Semua candidates dekat sana either headboy, headgirl, ketua rumah, pengawas. Need I to remind, she is the-

-only pengawas percubaan yg tak secure jawatan pengawas sbb ada org kantoikan dia bwk phone. (Ramai je bawak phone, tak dispotcheck pun.) She said she got the scholarship using her sijil pencapaian peringkat negeri & daerah, Alhamdulilah.

A LEVELS KOLEJ TUANKU JAAFAR

Aku akan buat thread Part 2 untuk cerita tntg ALevels Ayman. Thread Part 1 ni mmg aku nak fokus untuk endorse #Seniority≠Power.

Hentikan buli di mana-mana institusi pengajian. Boarding school reeks with bullies.

Nasihat dari Ayman Hazwani :

1. Always be kind to others, "Words can hurt".
Jgn mengata bcos one day you might feel segan nak minta maaf when you wronged a person. Practice healthy networking, semua ada mindset “takpe lah bukan jumpa dia dah lepas habis sekolah”.-

-These people lah yang one day jadi setiausaha menteri ke, jadi aircraft engineer ke, jadi cikgu anak korang ke. Never end anything on bad terms.

2. To those yang mentally or emotionally bullied ke, feel free to DM me @AymnHzwni if you need anyone to talk to.

Or talk to anyone you trust. If you’re the bully, don’t put them in that kind of situation. Even if you rasa benda yang you ‘kutuk’ tu tak serious.

@AymnHzwni 3. Jangan compare diri sendiri dengan orang lain. I tak pandai mana pun compare to other people but it’s important to keep track of your own growth. Education is not a race, everyone has their own route and pace. Kadang2 kita rasa “bestnya orang study overseas” but they lupa yg-

@AymnHzwni -some non-privilege friends tak dpt IPTA pun. Kalau kita asyik wish to have someone else’s life smpai tak kesudah kita susah nk bersyukur dgn apa yg kita ada. Once kita bersyukur then maybe kita boleh start focus on improving ourselves. Jangan bazir masa dengan rasa dengki & iri.

@AymnHzwni As a closure for Part 1 Thread, remember, if you hate that person, keep it to yourself. Never announce it.

And to the bully out there, this is coming out from Amirul Akram.

@AymnHzwni Never use seniority to justify ur nafsu to exert power over other people’s weakness. Admit it, you need recognition, respect. But u claim it in the wrong way

-You said u're doing it for the sake of community, to tame juniors.
-You said this could be stok bercerita dgn anak cucu.

@AymnHzwni BUT,

-Did it work? Havent the juniors go berserk & act more rebellious?
-I asked tons of bullies, most of them taknak cerita benda yg dorg dah buat. Katanya itu zmn jahiliah dorg. Rasanya anak cucu kalau boleh nak dgr if parents dorg power koku, atau wakil sekolah bersukan.
